The Moon
The moon carries within itself its own death in the form of its
increasing shadow, as we all do. It has, however, the power
to throw off that shadow and be reborn. So the moon
represents to us the promise of
rebirth, of the power of
life engaged in the field of
time and space
to throw off death and be reborn. That’s the sense of these
representations – that in procreation death has been thrown off and the seed has
gone to rebirth through
the miracle of the woman’s body, which the navel represents.
